XIX CENTURY CHINESE

KANGXI LOTUS BOWL

£1,000

AN UNUSUAL 19TH CENTURY CHINESE PORCELAIN LOTUS FROM BOWL bearing Kangxi marks to base, of naturalistic FROM, overlaid with fish. 25cm x 16 cm. Large Vintage Indoor Water Feature, Chinese Ceramic Fish Bowl, or Decorative Lotus Washer.

I am drawn to the symbolic weight and deceptive antiquity of this bowl. The naturalistic form and the presence of fish give the piece an immediate, calming emotional charge. We see this as a perfect Architectural Element for introducing tranquility and a touch of antique Mementos & Curiosities. The Kangxi marks, even if apocryphal for the 19th century, speak to its aspiration to historical excellence, adding to its narrative depth.
